Me too, Gordon. I might be interested in diffs or upgrades to the old
one i already have. 
Usually people post diffs/patches/upgrades or just a notice on where to
retrieve the latest version. I can't see why jargon needs a complete
repost once a month. Do you imagine a complete repost of each source
which needs a patch?

Jargon is a nice work, but the way it's coming out on the news really
upsets, and i'm currently saving all jargons inside /dev/null.

I think it's time to give a break to this thing, before we start
getting Jargon part 1/437..... 

REMOVING THE OLD JARGON AND SAVING THE NEW ONE TAKES MORE TIME THAN
APPLYING A SIMPLE PATCH.

Greetings, Paolo
from ITALY, where phone calls cost money. I guess jargon is
coming from the Land Of Free Calls (or, better, of ftp).

[Better point out that i appreciate Jargon, what i don't like
 is JUST the way it's being distributed]
